Prayer Exercise with a Worship Song for You

Lately I feel pulled in many directions, its a challenging season of balance and choosing priorities.  These are the times I need my heart to be calmed and stilled; and spending time with Jesus is where I go.  He is a refuge in the storm.  

​In this post, I'm sharing a scripture song by Sherri Youngward that I go to repeatedly when overwhelmed.  It helps me pray and call on the LORD's presence and enjoy Him.  It's a scripture based song reflecting Jesus' invitation to "Come to Me all who are weary and heavy burdened and I will give you rest..."  I don't know if the artist intended it this way; but I use the lyrics to respond to Jesus' invitation with my own invitation requesting His presence.  My heart cry is "Come to me"... 

​It's a request He wants us to make of Him.  He said to ask for good gifts and qualified the good gift as receiving MORE of the Holy Spirit, more of Himself, Luke 11:13.  Ask, seek, knock!  Respond to his invitation to come to him by beckoning Him to come to you!  Set aside 10 minutes of prayer to make it only about asking Him to come and then enjoy His presence.  The song lyrics are below as is a link to the artist's site with the song.  May this resource help you put words to your heart cry for more of Jesus' supernatural presence and life...  Blessings! 

​Quiet Place by Sherri Youngward
Come to me in this quiet place
A place made only for you
Come to me in this quiet place
My heart is longing for you
I love to be here with you
A time will come
When these moments will not end
And with the angels
We’ll bow before your glory
And we’ll sing songs of endless praise
Surrounded only by your beauty
Surrounded only by your beauty
